In October 1993, the Company acquired all the shares of Stonhard, Inc. Both mergers have been accounted for as poolings of interests. Accordingly, historical financial data presented in this report has been restated to include the accounts and transactions of Dynatron/Bondo Corporation and Stonhard, Inc. as though both were acquired as of June 1, 1992. The following table reconciles combined net sales, net income and earnings per share of the separate companies for the six months ended November 30, 1992.

AND SUBSIDIARIES 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company acquired Dynatron/Bondo Corporation in June 1993 and Stonhard, Inc. in October 1993, both on a pooling-of-interests basis. Dynatron/Bondo is a $45 million supplier of automotive repair products for both the professional and consumer markets, complementing the Company's Talsol line of automotive repair products. Stonhard is a $100 million world-wide leader of industrial and commercial polymer flooring whose products and markets will be synergistic with many of the Company's existing industrial product lines. The Company's prior year's results have been restated to reflect these poolings. Comparatively, sales increased $24.0 million, or 6.2%, over the first six months of last year. The recent strengthening of the dollar against European and Canadian currencies had approximately a $6.0 million impact on this sales growth that otherwise would have been $30.0 million, or 7.9%. Core businesses accounted for $24.2 million, or 81%, of this dollar adjusted sales growth and primarily from higher unit volume as pricing adjustments have been relatively minor. The sales gains during this past quarter (9.5%) reflect strength in both industrial and consumer business. The gross profit margin improved to 42.3% of six month sales from 41.7% during the comparable period a year ago. This reflects the benefit of planned improvements in product mix and plant efficiencies, mainly among the industrial businesses, as well as the transfer of Dynatron/Bondo's Canadian production to the U.S. These benefits were partially offset by a slight product mix shift toward somewhat lower margin consumer business. Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced to 28.2% of sales from 29.7% a year ago through primarily the conversion of both Dynatron/Bondo and Stonhard to public operations and the incurrence last year of significant restructuring charges at Stonhard's European operations. This category further reflects the benefits of higher sales and planned expense reductions. Acquisition costs, certain legal settlements and reduced royalty and joint venture income partly offset these reductions. The Company's June 1993 call for redemption of its $50 million 6.75% Convertible Subordinated Eurobond Debentures due 2005 was the principal reason for the decline in net interest expense from year to year. All bondholders had exercised their conversion rights by the end of July 1993. Aside from the Eurobonds, the net debt level was slightly higher during this past six months compared to a year ago, related to acquisitions, causing slightly higher other interest expense this year. Interest rates were generally comparable. As discussed in the 1993 Annual Report, the provision for income taxes has increased as a percentage of pre-tax income to 42.6% from 42.0%. This increase is attributable primarily to new tax laws, and also to continued growth in foreign income at comparatively higher tax rates and an upward trend in state and local taxes. Despite the increased tax provision, the comparative cost reductions discussed enabled net income to grow at a faster pace than sales resulting in an improved margin of 7.1% from 5.7% a year ago. 9 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993 Continued CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATIONS The cash flow from operations continues to be the primary source of financing the Company's internal growth. The Company generated cash from operations of $25.4 million for the current six month period, up $3.9 million from the same period a year ago. Operating working capital had a more adverse effect in the current six month period primarily as a result of certain reserve payments and the timing of federal income tax payments. Inventory in the current six months increased approximately $5 million over the prior year's first six months. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital expenditures amounted to $12.3 million to date, up $3.1 million from the same period last year. The Company's capital expenditures generally do not exceed depreciation and amortization in a given year. Certain cash requirements in the acquisitions of Dynatron/Bondo and Stonhard amounted to approximately $8.6 million. The Company also acquired the assets of a small division of a hobby company for $2.1 million. FINANCING ACTIVITIES As a result of the Eurobond conversion in July 1993, the Company's November 30, 1993 balance sheet reflects reductions of $1.2 million of other assets, $3.1 million of other accrued liabilities and $50 million of long-term debt with a corresponding increase to shareholders' equity resulting in an improved debt capital ratio of 43% from 52% at May 31, 1993. Other significant financing activities in the past six months include a $10 million increase in the multi-currency revolving credit agreement to facilitate the payment due former shareholders of a subsidiary included in the current portion of long-term debt at May 31, 1993. In addition, the Company assumed long-term debt of approximately $39 million in connection with the Stonhard and Dynatron/Bondo acquisitions. The subsequent retirement of this comparatively higher interest debt was financed by increasing the $10 million revolving credit agreement to $55 million. The revolver had a balance of $52.3 million at November 30, 1993. Working capital increased to $217.6 million from $192.4 million at May 31, 1993, with the current ratio increasing to 3.0:1 from 2.4:1. These improvements were due primarily to the cited reduction in the current portion of long term debt. The higher dividend payments reflected in the restated first six months of last year include $2.3 million that had been paid by Dynatron/Bondo Corporation to their shareholders at that time. The Company maintains excellent relations with its banks and other financial institutions to further enable the financing of future growth opportunities. 10 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Two asbestos-related bodily injury lawsuits which had previously been filed against Bondex International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Bondex"), were dismissed with prejudice as a result of plaintiffs' inability to produce evidence of exposure to or use of any Bondex asbestos-containing product. Further, thirty additional lawsuits which had been filed in In Re: Asbestos Products Liability Litigation (No. VI); U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. MDL 875, were dismissed without prejudice by Order entered October 15, 1993. All involved allegations of asbestos-related diseases not compensable under current Pennsylvania case law. All of the dismissed cases are subject to reinstatement should the diseases alleged by plaintiffs progress to a compensable status. There are currently pending against Bondex a total of 284 asbestos-related bodily injury suits filed on behalf of various individuals in various jurisdictions in the United States. All of these lawsuits name numerous other corporate defendants and all allege bodily injury as a result of the exposure to or use of asbestos-containing products. Bondex has denied liability in all pending lawsuits and continues to vigorously defend them. As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 1993, Carboline Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Carboline"), has been named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") together with 36 other entities as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA") in connection with the Powell Road Landfill Site, Huber Heights, Ohio (the "Site"). Carboline is alleged to be associated with the Site as a consequence of disposal of waste originating at its Xenia, Ohio plant. Carboline has joined with other PRPs in a "PRP Organization Agreement" for the purpose of conducting a common response to any claim for removal or response action asserted by the EPA or the State of Ohio or conducting a common defense to any such claim. A remedial investigation ("RI") to evaluate the nature and extent of contamination at the Site and a feasibility study ("FS") of recommended cleanup remedy, prepared by Waste Management, Inc., owner of the Site, have been submitted to the EPA. Following its review of the RI/FS, the EPA has tentatively proposed a more expensive remedy, which will be the subject of future negotiations. The PRP group, now totalling 45, has advised the EPA of the PRPs' interest in negotiating an Administrative Order on Consent which would obligate the PRPs to perform a Remedial Design at the Site. Initial discussions with the EPA are scheduled for January, 1994. Based upon Carboline's estimated allocated share of total waste volume at the Site (approximately 0.50 percent) the Company believes that ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 11 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - Continued As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, agreement was reached to settle two adversary proceedings pending against the Company in the bankruptcy proceedings of GEC Industries, Inc. (formerly Gates Engineering Company), a former subsidiary of the Company ("GEC"), Case No. 89-44 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The first proceeding, GEC AND THE WARRANTY CLAIMANTS COMMITTEE V. AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC., ET AL., Adversary No. 90-64, is a declaratory judgment action against the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and certain of their primary and excess insurers seeking judicial determination of, among other things, the obligations of the insurance carriers and scope of coverage under the insuring agreements with respect to claims asserted against GEC for alleged defective roofing materials manufactured by GEC. The second proceeding, GEC AND THE WARRANTY CLAIMANTS COMMITTEE V. RPM, INC., Adversary No. 90-65, seeks to hold the Company liable for all warranty claims of GEC, based upon allegations that GEC was the alter ego, instrumentality and actual or apparent agent of the Company. The settlement agreement, which involves an aggregate payment of $3 million by the Company and the insurance carriers, was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court by Order entered May 14, 1993. On May 20, 1993, Notice of Appeal from the Order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; Civil Action No. 93-338 (Bankruptcy No. 89-44), by Jack E. Brown, Trustee in Bankruptcy for Gentges Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc., a GEC warranty claimant. Appellant Jack E. Brown subsequently withdrew the appeal which was then dismissed by the U.S. District Court per Order entered September 30, 1993. Stipulations of Dismissal of both adversary proceedings (Adversary Nos. 90-64 and 90-65) were subsequently executed by all parties and filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Per Order entered January 11, 1994, both adversary proceedings were dismissed with prejudice by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. This litigation is now ended. As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit captioned GATES ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., ET AL. V. NOMA INDUSTRIES, LTD., JACK E. BROWN, TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY FOR GENTGES ROOFING & SHEET METAL, INC. V. GATES ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., ET AL. (including RPM, Inc.) filed August 26, 1987 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Central Division, Case No. 86-4053-CV-C-5. In a Third Amended Complaint, Plaintiff Brown included derivative claims against the Company, claims for tortious interference with contract and violation by the Company of the federal RICO statute. The Third Amended Complaint sought $1,394,561.44 in actual damages, $10 million in punitive damages, treble compensatory damages under RICO and further relief. Per Order entered May 26, 1993, the U.S. District Court granted the Company's Motions for 12 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - Continued Summary Judgment and dismissed all counts alleging civil conspiracy and violation of the RICO statute. At the commencement of trial on June 7, 1993, all alter-ego claims against the Company, including counts of fraud, negligence and breach of contract, were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice by the plaintiff. On June 9, 1993, the U.S. District Court directed a verdict in favor of the Company on the sole remaining count of tortious interference with contract, and judgment was entered per Order entered June 11, 1993. On July 9, 1993, a Notice of Appeal from the Order entered May 26, 1993 (granting the Company's Motion for Summary Judgment), as well as from the Order entered June 11, 1993 (entering judgment on the directed verdict for the Company), was filed by plaintiff Brown in the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit; Appeal No. 93.2810. In November, 1993, the Company and plaintiff Brown entered into a settlement agreement (subject to approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri, Central Division), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Brown an amount the Company considers insignificant in exchange for Brown's complete dismissal of his appeal pending before the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. On December 27, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court in the Gentges bankruptcy proceedings entered an Order approving the settlement; however, on December 28, 1993, John D. Gentges, a creditor in the Gentges bankruptcy proceedings, filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. District Court from the Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company and plaintiff Brown subsequently filed a Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice of plaintiff Brown's appeal pending before the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Per Order entered January 7, 1994, the stipulation was granted and plaintiff Brown's appeal was dismissed with prejudice. Consequently, the Gentges appeal to the U.S. District Court is now moot and this litigation is ended.
